I have the Hobie tandem kayak for more than a year, but fishing is new dimension.
My wife and I have made trips around Angel island and the bay.

All my fishing experience is from east coast, so anything west coast would be appreciated.
I plan to start in San Pablo for stripers and then head out to Pacific.

My neighbor told my this forum is the bomb for information.

At least you're not counting down in minutes or seconds.  :smt001

Welcome Greg! Nice to see another fellow sardine! If i'm right, rockfish from shore is open all year, but who's interested in that?
